int size() return the number of values currently stored in the list. ex: x.size()
boolean isEmpty() Returns true if the list is empty, other wise returns false. ex: x.isEmpty()

void add( int i, Object obj) Inserts obj before the i-th element; increments the indices of the subsequent element by 1; ex: x.add( 5, "asdfasd");
Object set( int i, Object obj) replace i-th element with obj, returns the old value x.set(1,"asdfa")
Object get(int i), returns the value of the i-th element
Object remove( int i) //Removes the i-th element from the list and returns its old value; decrements the indices of the subsequent elements by1. ex: x.remove(1);
